Success Stories
The Literary Consultancy is very proud of the talented writers it has helped over the years. We have been instrumental in helping many writers find their place with publishers and publish independently to great success, and this list represents just a small selection of those who’ve gone on to get book deals, top bestseller lists, become book club favourites, have their books recommended by Oprah, made into films starring Hollywood actors, and gain media coverage across the UK and internationally.
“The TLC read was a brilliant opportunity to get detailed and useful feedback. Evie Wyld’s report was comprehensive and thought-provoking. Ten Things I’ve Learnt About Love has now sold in fifteen territories, and was selected as book of the week on Oprah.com after it was published by Penguin Press in the US.”

“Not only did I get candid, insightful and actionable editorial advice, but TLC also picked it out as a manuscript to pitch directly to agents – and my road to publication began. I cannot thank them enough.”

“TLC’s editorial advice was outstanding, as was their support through the traditional publishing environment, out in to self-publishing which seemed the best place for my hybrid memoir/inspirational business book ‘All you Need is Love.’ ”
Pete Smith,
All you Need is Love,
“The most difficult thing to find as an unpublished author is an objective and authoritative opinion on the merits – or otherwise – of your work. The Literary Consultancy’s report made all the difference in gettingThe Golden Pig published.”

“Their comments were entirely supportive and constructive, all the way from detail to structure, and it was obvious that thought and experience had been put into them.”

“Having my manuscript assessed by TLC was the best investment I’ve made in years. Christopher Wakling was absolutely brilliant. He sent me a report of incredibly helpful and encouraging comments”
